Panel Formed On Hispanic Mayoral Run

Soliz declined to name others besides himself on the committee, which he said has 20 members and was independent of any political organization. But he said he would consider being the Hispanic candidate if it is determined the votes are there.

``If the conditions are right, I would consider taking on the challenge,`` he said shortly after a ribbon cutting ceremony at his new aldermanic office at 1718 South Loomis Av.

The name of Soliz, a 36-year old Pilsen lawyer, has often been bandied about in the Hispanic community in connection with future mayoral races. But his comments Saturday were the first indication he is seriously interested the 1987 race.

Two weeks ago, Washington council supporters ousted Soliz from his chairmanship of the Aviation Committee, as part of the administration`s ongoing drive to reorganize city government.

Soliz is one of four Hispanic aldermen now in the City Council as a result of a special election in seven wards this spring following a court ordered redistricting. He and Ald. Miguel Santiago (31st) are considered supporters of the opposition bloc led by aldermen Edward Vrdolyak (10th) and Edward Burke (14th).

Soliz said he would welcome the support of the regular Democratic Organization if he were to run.
